Three predefined templates are available plus you can override any template with your own styles. Click “HTML Report Options…” to adjust its settings.

You can download the latest version here.

Now the issue is fixed. You do not need to perform any special actions to clean-up the collection. Next time when you update your discs or folders WinCatalog will cleanup all extra-thumbnails and will keep only a single copy of each image.

You can download the latest version here.

upd: the new version also adds 3 new columns to the list view: Disk Total, Free and Used spaces. You can show these columns by making a right mouse click on the column header of the list view.

To start finding duplicates just type a search query as you did previously, click the down arrow on the search button and select “Find Duplicates”. WinCatalog 2012 will run the search but the search results will be grouped by any field (or by a set of fields) by your choice.

To add new grouping rule just drag the column header from the list view control into the grouping area.

This is an example of duplicated items grouped by previously calculated MD5 hash and then by name.

upd: The new version (3.5.9) has been released on March 3rd. You can download it here.

New Year 2012 is the year of significant improvements for WinCatalog. The development of the new major version 4.0 has been officially started today on December 30, 2011. Version 4 will have its own and new platform to be more powerful, featureful and reliable (but the collection files created with any previous version will be supported).  The new version will be developed simultaneously with updating the current version. The first preview will be available in Q2, 2012.

upd: The issue with “WinCatalog.log” file on the desktop is fixed. It was a hardcoded debug info inside the program. Now it is switched off. Please re-download and re-install the new version if you see the file. Sorry for the inconvenience!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2012 year with lots of CDs, DVDs and new hard drives to catalog!
